Like a third world nation! Bidenomics!
One of my fondest memories was of staying at this hotel when I was a kid around 1978 or 79. What a shame. Oh well, no one can take that memory away from me.
The lamestream media just can't resist can they??
Isn’t the entire city of Las Vegas breathtakingly grimy? It certainly is in my opinion.

I went there when I was in Vegas about 12 years ago. The maitradie looked like Liberaches twin brother. Great food, fair prices, great view. It was like stepping back in time.
Not when they sweep up the Hooker cards every morning.
Actually, they keep the Strip/LV blvd pretty clean.
Some years back I had planned a grand wilderness vacation for the family.
Shortly before we were to leave one of the daughters was seriously injured. There went the hiking, kayaking, and camping. For the most part all her injuries left for her to do was sit in the woods acting as bear bait.
At the last minute I came up with an entirely different urban vacation. Being next to more capable medical centers than we had in our hometown was at this point probably a good idea anyway. Museums, galleries, and hotels, here we come.
Over the course of the vacation we stayed in nicer hotels and it cost a fortune for 5 people. I had packed as much into our time away as I could and one event was scheduled close to the end of our time away leaving just enough time to speed back with no unnecessary delays at the end.
Since we only needed a mattress to crash on for a couple of hours at that point I took a super cheapo crappy motel for the last night on the way back. The best appliances available in the US...in 1974. The carpet hadnt been cleaned since then either. The door had been rigged for ease of robbery by sticking some carboard in the bolt hole and after I removed that we went went to sleep. For the price I paid they offered me nothing (other than the mattress) and I received it in abundance.
Of all the hotels we stayed in the last place was the only one with comfortable beds that we could actually sleep on. Here I had spent a fortune on “nice” hotels, the majority of the money spent on this vacation, and all I really got was ripped off. Sleeping in the car would have been more comfortable.
Never again. A good mattress and no bedbugs will be my only criteria going forward leaving much more money for the events.
Usually the wi/fi gives free access to the internet. Coffee is free, there is a microwave, parking is free.
In the most expensive hotels, access to the internet is $25 more per day, no coffee, no microwave, parking is extra.
Never. It is not high grade enough for them.
A lower resort stay tax? When traveling every penny counts.
Dim lighting, dark wallpapers, very Old School.
Yes, but there are cultural things too.
When we were there 12 years ago we went to 1-2 different hotels on the strip each day.
Mandalay Bay has a beautiful aquarium.
We went to the bodies exhibit(disected Chinamans) at the Luxor.
Saw the lions at the MGM.
Went to the zoo where they had the tigers at the Mirage.
Had lunch on the canal at the Venetian.
Went to Madame Tousos wax museum in front of the Venetian.
Went to Hoover Dam on a day trip.
Saw two Cirqe d’Sole shows.
Walked through the shops at Ceasars. Saw Pete Rose and Dick Butkus signing autographs.
Had dinner at the fountain in Ceasars.
I spent about $5 GAMBLING because I was waiting for my wife when she went to the bathroom prior to a show.
IF I ever went back I would combine it with a trip to the Grand Canyon. Which is only a 3 hours away.
We almost took a helicopter day tour. They go to the Hoover dam and canyon then back.
No, only five star hotels for the new Democrat voters (at tax payer expense).
Is Slots O Fun still open on the sidewalk in front of the CC? I liked that place. It had $1 blackjack and huge, cheap hot dogs.
Bedbug always make me think of MASH and yiddish word for bedbug ,LOL
Yes.
Vegas is a pit.
Look around with a UV light and luminol.
The Golden Steer is still there. Drove by it the other evening and it was packed.
In the days of the Rat Pack and run by the mafia it was terrific. Then democrats/unions took over.
